Vikram Seth

The correct answer is Vikram Seth.

Its length is noteworthy, running to well over 1300 pages in most editions, making it one of the longest single-volume novels ever published in English. The novel was followed by a sequel, 'A Suitable Girl', which was published much later. The novel's setting in post-independence India provides a rich backdrop for exploring the social, political, and cultural shifts of the time through the lives of its numerous characters.
